Indian Curry and Lassie

Indian Curry and Lassie

Indian Curry
Ingredients
-1 bunch cilantro
-1 lime
-1 package *Masala powder

-ginger garlic paste(or 20 cloves of garlic&10cm ginger)

-10 cans garbanzo beans
-7 red onions
-14 tomatoes
-spices(powdered red chili pepper, whole cloves, black cardamon, cinnamon sticks, powdered black pepper, green cardamon in salt, turmeric powder) See the photo of her spice case. I put these in order from the little spoon in the middle. The one left of the spoon is the chili and it goes clock wise.

1)cut the vegetables. No need to chop them to small since we will be putting them in a blender.
2)Grind onions (if you are not using the garlic/ginger paste, add garlic&ginger at this point.)
3)Rinse the beans and drain well.
4)in a large pan, heat 2-3TB oil(more oil you add, faster to cook). Add 2pinches of cumin, 10green cardamon peeled. (1can of beans=1 green cardamon), 1 black cardamon-crashed, 6or7 cloves.
5)add the onion mixture from 2) to the pan. Simmer for 10mins until the water in the mixture dries up and you can see the bottom of the pan as you stir the mixture. You'll only see the grease not water on the bottom.

6)In another pot, add some oil, grind tomatoes and a little bit of salt to taste. Bring it to medium heat for 10-15mins. Stir occasionally.
7)Once the onions are cooked, add that to the tomato's pot. Bring it to high heat.
8)Add 2TB salt to taste.
9)Add masala(1can of beans=1TB masala)
10)Add water (1can of beans=1/2cup water)
11)Add beans

12)Taste and see if you need to add more salt.
13)Pour the curry on top of cooked basmati rice and add toppings(chopped red onions, chopped cilantro, squeezed lime juice and black salt).
Enjoy!
